1。那么这个世界的水资源真的正在枯竭吗？其实不然。地球上的淡水总量超过了人类任何可能需要的数量。不过得把那一点告诉约旦政府；自从以色列让它的最大水源约旦河改道以后，约旦政府已经快把自己的地下水抽干了。tell that to the government of Jordan：把那一点告诉约旦政府。that所指的内容似乎应该在前文中提到，应该是关于水患危机；从意思来看，不应该是The total quantity of fresh water on Earth exceeds all possible human needs。the river Jordan：约旦河。这里river可以大写，也可以小写。做its largest water resource的同位语。2。答案是：虽然没有全球范围的水患危机，但很多局部地区的水患危机却十分严重。这些危机（的原因）有投入的不足，对于跨国界河流的政治纷争，以及纯粹愚蠢的水资源管理。crises of underinvestment：（因）投入的不足（而造成的）危机；underinvestment是投入上的不足，不光指经济上的投资，还指人力、政策等方面的不足。plain idiotic water management：纯粹愚蠢的水资源管理；plain在这里的意思是“全然的”。

But后tellthattothegovermentofJordan”但是把这一点(常识)告诉约旦政府吧“,其中that指代 eriverJordan约旦河,作itslargestwatersource的同位语,约旦最大的河流资源。Therearecrisesofunderinvestment存在着投资不足的危险。ofplainidioticwatermanagement平原水资源管理不聪明。
